Real-time PulsePoint Emergency Alerts to iMessage with AI Summaries

This n8n workflow automates real-time monitoring of emergency incidents from PulsePoint for a specific agency. It runs hourly (configurable), fetches the latest alerts via a custom code node that decrypts dispatch data, filters out duplicates using persistent static memory for incident IDs, merges new incidents into a single payload, and only proceeds if new events exist. An OpenAI o4-mini model then summarizes the technical data into human-readable updates with context, urgency indicators, and emojis for clarity.

The summarized report is delivered directly to any phone number via Blooio's API, supporting iMessage with RCS/SMS fallback. This ensures reliable, instant notifications without spam from repeats. Benefits include staying informed on neighborhood fire/medical emergencies, enhancing personal or family safety, and supporting local response teams with actionable intel.

Ideal use cases: real-time alerts for residents in high-risk areas, volunteer firefighters tracking calls, safety groups sharing updates, or emergency coordinators monitoring activity. It's reliable, customizable (agency ID, schedule, phone), and converts raw API data into practical, engaging messages—saving time and reducing alert fatigue.
